Newsweek

Newsweek's declared mission is to speak to — and listen to — readers across the political and cultural spectrum. It says it is committed to journalism that's factual and fair, and believes that good-faith debate is in the public interest - it welcome diverse views and voices to the search for common ground.

Newsweek has made a commitment to accurate, independent, ethical and responsible journalism. This means reporting fairly, attributing clearly and correcting mistakes transparently, with editorial policies and processes designed to support those values. Its policy states that all reporters for Newsweek must identify themselves clearly, and must never use deception or pretense to obtain information. No Newsweek reporter can accept remuneration of any kind in exchange for coverage. Newsweek journalists must not cover any company, industry or issue in which they have a financial interest. Newsweek has policies to ensure that its newsroom operates in service of the audience, with complete editorial independence from the management of the company.

Newsweek's biggest source of revenue is advertising, with subscriptions increasingly important. Smaller sources of income include affiliate revenue, sponsored content — which is clearly identified as such — and syndication to Apple News, Microsoft News, Google News and others. Newsweek is part of NW Media Holdings Corp., registered in New York and owned 50 percent by CEO Dev Pragad and 50 percent by Jonathan Davis Holding Company.

Newsweek has policies to place inclusiveness at the heart of its journalism from around the world, with a newsroom that is always supposed to seek diverse views. The team recognizes that backgrounds, identities and experiences can all shape perspectives, but will avoid stereotypes or making assumptions. Newsweek's policy is to seek diversity in its reporting team and within its management and is striving to better reflect the global communities that it covers, and to be able to demonstrate this improvement.

Newsweek commits to welcoming reader feedback on any item that warrants correction, and to providing journalism that is responsible and accurate. Its policy is to make any needed corrections promptly and transparently — corrections are noted at the bottom of the story concerned. 

Newsweek’s policy is to allow reporters to use anonymous sources in rare cases where the public good is served by the reporting. When anonymous sources are used, Newsweek’s policy is that it be done in consultation with editors, at least one of whom must know the identity of the source and how they know what they know. Only credible third-party sources must be used. When reporting a story from another news organization, Newsweek will credit the source or sources high in the article.
